about

Geordie puncher Lewis Ritson exploded onto the scene with a demolition job over Robbie Barrett in October 2017 to win the British Lightweight Title in style. Less than 48 hours later, Ritson penned a promotional contract with Matchroom.

Three quick successful defences followed over Joe Murray, Joe Murray and Scotty Cardle earning Ritson the belt outright.

A shot at European honours came next, which saw Ritson pick up his first career defeat against Francesco Patera in front of his hometown fans. That saw the end of Ritson's 135lbs reign, now up at 140 - The Sandman is climbing the World rankings.
